Seems like much of the focus of threads is how do you get one of these awesome knives, which is understandable. The Shiv thread and NJBillK's thread (and all of Lorien's) are fun because they tell stories about what folks do with their blades.
So, what do you have, what do you use?
Me: I have a 6" fighter from a few years back, and I admire it :)
I have an early field knife that is a great all-purpose chore knife. Easy carry, big enough for most non-delicate cutting applications, haven't gotten a deer in years, but I am a field biologist and it is in my field kit. Did I mention it is light (things don't go in the field bag unless they are essential gear or easy carry).
I have a light chopper that gets the call for woody brush/branch clearing around the farm when a tree comes down, or trail maintenance (anything that does not require a machete or saw).
No edc (but lots of folders, so I can live with that).
What about you? Highlights of your CPK uses?
 
The only CPK I have is an LC, and I use it for clearing brush. I am an archaeologist, but there isn't usually much call for a chopper in the field. I clear brush part time so that I have an excuse to get out in the woods and get some exercise, and the LC is really outstanding for that work.
 
My skinner is one of the most used knives in the kitchen, my EDC is my work knife so it sees a ton of cardboard, foam insulation etc. My Lc'er just help clear some ex county trails on Mt. Spokane. My potato knife was used by Mom until she quite cooking and I traded for a Shiv, which I admire the workmanship. Nathan's blades have become an everyday staple and used by all.
 
My D2 EDC is on my hip at work daily, my FK just field dressed a deer a week or so ago, my HDFK will be my camp knife, LC is for firewood/brush clearing, BC is just badass.
 
I pretty much throw my grey zombie lc in piles of rocks and glass. I also cleared a house with it once when I didn't have anything else.

dude! Do you have a whip?
 
So far all that I use regularly is my EDC-D2 for cutting up boxes which I receive. I hate getting tape glue on my CPK, so I don't cut tape with it. I have also demo'ed one of my HDFK around the front and the backyard. Just like Adam, my other HDFK sleeps beside me on the nightstand! The two LCs are for the Zombies but haven't decided yet if I'll be wielding the 4V or the D3V with my dominant hand. The UF / Shiv will be backups for ride alongs in the car if/when I drive very long distances outside of Cali. Lastly, the Behemoth is a sheath making template for all you other buggers who would not volunteer to send your own to Grog!!!

I should, but I do not. I do have the hat though, and I wear it in the field :D

I feel like the chances of me taking out an eye with a whip far exceeds my chances of finding a use for a whip in an excavation. :confused: Then again, I have worked on open range where cattle would wander by
 
My EFF is in my small day lack that is with me 6 days out of 7.

My LC for clearing brush, limbing trees around my house.
 
I use both my FK and LC for my hikes. This is how I set them up.

Some battle scars can be seen on the FK handle. I slipped and hit it on some rocks during one of my hikes.
 
^ I luv this guy's name / moniker :D

In addition to being a GSD lover, it seems :cool:

I'm about a week deep into my first introduction to a gout flare-up, I've yet to use my LC to sever limbs and bits from everyone who feels like a comedian by mimic'ing my gimping gait but I have plans.

The rich man’s disease! From what I hear it’s not fun. Hopefully it goes away quick.

If you hadn’t disclosed the condition, you could’ve tried to trade that bum foot for Justins’s bum foot sight unseen :D

P.S. if you decide to do an abrupt self surgical correction, you have my permission to try out the behemoth. I'm sure that the edge can withstand human femur, albeit as dense as yours :P

Hi.

This must be the potato knife you traded for my shiv! :) I've been looking for pictures of it (I can't take a picture worth a crap), so if you have any pics and can send me, that would be great. You can PM me.
